    Chapter 257 Battle of Yaoguang Star (6)

    The Imperial heavy armor at the front was the first to be hit. The low-oil armor-piercing projectile of the recoilless gun penetrated the relatively weak protective armor on its side.  When the hard armor-piercing warhead pierced the armor, the intelligent system at the rear of the warhead immediately activated the combat components at the rear of the projectile. The hot and boiling high-pressure gas was directed into the interior of the heavy armor. The Imperial soldiers sitting in the car almost instantly  It was steamed, and the rapidly expanding high pressure squeezed the solid car body from the inside out. Then, like opening a can filled with high-pressure gas, the heavy armor exploded from the inside out, twisting and deforming.  The steel armor mixed with blood-red gas continued to erupt for more than ten seconds. Under such a blow, the soldiers sitting inside would not even retain a trace of bone residue, and they evaporated from the world.

    Immediately afterwards, one heavy armor after another was called out by the anti-armor soldiers crawling on the slope of the trench. One of the heavy armors was hit by three armor-piercing shells almost at the same time. Its fate was also the most tragic, weighing 20 tons.  The ton-ton upper body completely disappeared, leaving only the huge metal base.  Li Guangshuo yelled at his soldiers and asked them to save ammunition.

    The Imperial mechas began to speed up, and they kept changing positions to avoid making the same mistake as the heavy armor.  Thousands of Imperial Marines behind them also accelerated their charge.

    "It's our turn!" Cai Yuanyuan roared, and the thirty-six mechas of the mecha squad rushed out of their mecha position.

    The enemy and our mechas collided together less than 1,000 meters away from the defensive position. The soldiers lying in the trenches could feel the tremors coming from the ground, and the harsh collision of steel and steel was clearly audible.

    The Imperial Marines slowed down their charge, they were hesitating.

    Mecha - the king of land battles. Since this steel monster entered the war, it has become the first factor that determines the outcome of ground battles. It dominates the ground, and almost every ground battle ends with a mecha decisive battle.  Here, the Charno people have an advantage in terms of the number of mechas. If they continue to move forward and wait for the imperial soldiers, they will not only receive deadly flames from the trenches, but also the bloody massacre after the mechas rush into the infantry formation.

    Zhang Zekai noticed an imperial officer who looked like an army commander. He was huddled behind the wreckage of a destroyed heavy armor. He kept shouting something and seemed to be talking to the rear. He patted a field sniper next to him.  Show him the target you found.  The sniper nodded and pointed his gun at the imperial officer.

    Sniper, the most feared killer on the battlefield.  Their role is not to kill the enemy's physical strength, but to destroy the enemy's will to fight.  They are hunter-killers who target enemy commanders and lower-level officers, and are even used to destroy enemy light vehicles.  If soldiers are the flesh and blood of an army, then the officer system is the skeleton that supports the flesh and blood. The only outcome for an army without skeleton support is rapid collapse.

    As a veteran who devoted himself to the Patriotic War in the early days of the war, Zhang Zekai knew better than others how to use the limited resources in his hands to deal the maximum blow to his enemies.  He deployed snipers around the position, with only one mission: to kill enemy officers.

    Zhang Zekai understood that the troops he had at his disposal were very limited and they were isolated and helpless. He could neither organize a threatening counterattack nor maneuver his troops to attack in a roundabout way. The only thing he and his soldiers could do was to hold on to their position until the end of the battle.  The last person.  And their only chance to survive is to wait for reinforcements from the stars before the enemy destroys them all!

    The imperial officer's communication with the rear didn't look pleasant. He threw away the communicator angrily and waved his hand to signal the soldiers to continue charging. The moment he left the wreckage of the heavy armor, his whole body  As if he suddenly lost all his strength and fell to the ground, a sniper warhead penetrated his armored helmet.

    The soldiers of the Empire continued to charge. They ran forward as hard as they could, shooting aimlessly with the guns in their hands, but they carefully avoided the fighting position of the mechas that were still entangled with each other.

    Eight Imperial fighter planes swooped down from the sky again. Their target was not the trenches, but Charno's mecha detachment.

    "Knock them down!" Zhang Zekai roared. The mecha formations forming a defensive formation are generally not afraid of fighters from the sky. They are land lions. The only thing they have to pay attention to is to avoid being stagnated by starships in orbit in outer space.  One pot at a time.  But it's different when mechas are fighting. It's hard for ordinary mecha fighters to have the energy to pay attention to direct strikes from air fighters at this time.

    A dozen soldiers stood up carrying shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft missiles, and plumes of white smoke immediately rose from the trenches.  The Imperial fighter planes were rolling in the air.They were doing various evasive movements, and several flames flashed in the sky, but two fighters still escaped the anti-aircraft missile attack and threw themselves towards the ground.

    Zhang Zekai leaned out and looked coldly at the two imperial fighters that had slipped through the net. He believed that Cai Yuanyuan, 36 vs 20, was not enough for Cai Yuanyuan to put all the mechas on hand into the battle.

    Cai Yuanyuan did not put all the mechas into battle at once. He ordered four mechas to roam and maneuver outside the battle circle. The Imperials controlled the air, and he had to be wary of direct strikes from the air.  The two Imperial fighter planes were immediately locked by four wandering mechas, and four missiles rose into the air, blowing them to pieces before the Imperial fighter planes could react.

    The mecha melee lasted for twenty minutes. The imperial mechas never had the chance to approach the trench. They had become piles of twisted and deformed metal ruins.  Afterwards, the mecha detachment rushed into the rear of the Imperial Marine formation, and the Imperial attack turned into a massacre.  The Imperial Marines began a hasty retreat, leaving behind hundreds of corpses.

    Thirty minutes later, the Imperials organized a second attack. This time their mechas and armor were replenished, as well as more marines.  The imperial commanders on the space starship easily discovered this relatively weak attack point from the stalemate battlefield. More landing craft fell from the sky. They carefully avoided the Charno people's firepower and carried out the attack a little further away.  After a sudden landing, heavy armors and mechas joined the battlefield.

    Time passed bit by bit, and the imperial attacks became more and more fierce. Zhang Zekai lay in a gap opened by a high-explosive bomb, observing the smoke-filled battlefield.  His left arm hung weakly on his chest, and the medic simply fixed it with a bandage. It was caused by a high-explosive bomb that fell into the trench, and his orderly and two field staff also died.

    Zhang Zekai struggled to throw a flattened cigarette into his mouth, lit it with the ashes of the incendiary bomb next to the slope, and took a few puffs.  The defensive position had been completely destroyed by the fierce artillery fire of the Imperials. There were rising white smoke and burning fires everywhere. A few puffs of cigarettes would not reveal his position.

    This is the first time they have repelled the imperial attack?  Zhang Zekai shook his head vigorously. The shock wave of the high-explosive bomb that almost killed Guangrong just now still made his brain buzz, and his head was in severe pain as if it was about to split.  He subconsciously looked at the atomic watch on his wrist. He didn't know when the atomic watch had stopped working, and there was a piece of metal stuck on the solid anti-collision dial.

    "Rabbit?! What time is it now?" Zhang Zekai shouted loudly,

    "Seventeen twenty!" 'Rabbit' rubbed his ears. He was lying on the lower left side of Zhang Zekai. The explosion just now made Zhang Zekai temporarily deaf. He always shouted at the top of his voice.

    "Rabbit" is Liang Shaoguang's nickname. He is only twenty-five years old, but he is a veteran with one year of combat experience. He is very clever and got the nickname "Rabbit" because he jumped and jumped while running.  Number.  At this moment, he put a metal plate on his head, lay down behind Zhang Zekai, and stared at the imperial people coming in like a tide.  Compared with his comrades, Rabbit is lucky, at least he is still alive.  He was the only recruit of his batch, most of them had died in previous battles, and the last four comrades were also killed in the Imperial attack just now.

    Zhang Zekai subconsciously glanced at Liang Shaoguang's funny costume. The fierce battle caused serious damage to the soldiers' equipment.  High-tech equipment such as individual armor cannot be used once it is damaged. Without auxiliary energy drive for individual armor weighing 200 kilograms, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary soldiers to wear it to complete normal tactical actions.  Although dozens of logistics maintenance soldiers are working hard to repair the damaged armor in the soldier hiding holes dug in the trenches, there are still many soldiers who are only fighting in ordinary combat training uniforms. They have to think of some crooked ideas to let them go.  He can survive intensive artillery attacks.

    In the open space in front of the trenches, the Imperials left more than 4,000 corpses, as well as the remains of a large number of mechas and heavy tanks.  The ratio of losses between the enemy and ourselves reached 4:1, which is a proud figure.  But there was no joy on Zhang Zekai's face. He looked up at the sky from time to time.

    Yaoguang Star is too far away from the star, and its sky is always dark. Its petite size also allows starships in the sky to sink lower without fear of being pulled to the ground by the gravity of the planet.  Zhang Zekai could even see with his naked eyes the irregularly shining area, where the empire's starships were gathered.

    From early morning to now, Charno soldiers have been holding this position for thirteen earths, and the tired soldiers' physical strength is approaching the limit.  Whether it was the main position in the rear or the blocking position stationed by Zhang Zekai, the firepower was much sparser than before.
